From 2008: ACORN - Who Funds the Weather Underground’s Little Brother?
Foundation Watch - Capital Research Center ^ | 2008 | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 09/16/2009 6:37:31 AM PDT by ETL

From 2008...

Summary: The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has become America’s most prominent leftwing community group. Little-known until now, ACORN has played a major role in the subprime mortgage mess that has undermined Americans’ support for free market problem-solving and set off a worldwide chain of fi nancial troubles. It is also implicated in vote fraud schemes from coast to coast. ACORN aims to give America change that socialists can believe in – by any means necessary. It is deliberately organized to avoid scrutiny. But with an FBI probe underway, millions of dollars in back taxes owing, and a racketeering lawsuit pending, it may finally have to answer for its many misdeeds. (This is a companion article to this month’s Labor Watch, which looks at ACORN’s inconsistent approach to labor issues.)

Thank you - what an eye-opener. And what’s strange is that none of these stories were ever posted on FreeRepublic. I don’t “post” articles, but someone could post these - better late than never... ( please - please)

Inside Obama’s Acorn:
By their fruits ye shall know them
Stanley Kurtz, May 29, 2008

“What if Barack Obama’s most important radical connection has been hiding in plain sight all along? Obama has had an intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn), the largest radical group in America. If I told you Obama had close ties with MoveOn.org or Code Pink, you’d know what I was talking about. Acorn is at least as radical as these better-known groups, arguably more so. Yet because Acorn works locally, in carefully selected urban areas, its national profile is lower. Acorn likes it that way. And so, I’d wager, does Barack Obama.”

The “lady” in San Bernardino brags about her political connections and how the Democrats protect ACORN. She brags about knowing Barbara Boxer, Hanna in wonderful feigned softly-voiced awe: “...you know Barbara Boxer?”

Great thread---nice finds. Thanks.

Everytime they run that Cali vid---I'm seeing "Teresa--the husband killer" auditoning for a spot in the brothel.

She's dancing around, keeps opening her legs, the unrelenting encouragement-----this chick is turned on at the idea of "working" for a living.

Her body language tells a lot............. LOL.

My point is, corporate firewalls prevent video and audio from the web.

You could type up a short summary so we can get a quick read and then go to Townhall.com after work.

Fox News has very recently been using that precise quote. I’m not sure where they got it, but it well may have from one of my postings of it. They never give credit for anything. Same goes for Mark Levin and most of the others.

She’s probably referring to the video of the ACORN worker confessing that she murdered her husband. However, it has been played several times (that I know of) on Fox News.

First of all, you need to drink less coffee. Second, why don't you briefly summarize what you're referring to?
